History of the Cottage on the Green
Listed Building
Cottage. Possibly an open hall built 1501 for Richard Peppercorn, with floor and stack inserted into hall and front wall repaired 1583.
This was the home of teacher and author, Rowland Parker. His two books, ‘The Common Stream’ and ‘Town and Gown’, were very popular publications that appeared in print at about the same time.
Selected papers held by the Cambridgeshire Archives abut the publication ‘Town and Gown’ and ‘The Common Stream’ can be found here:
